Chapter 279: Revealing the Inside Story and Scolding
"Master Wei, can you tell me what is going on with the official salt in Xishan County now? Why is there no salt to sell at this time? Is it true that some people see that this year is closed, and the amount of salt is large, so they make a careful eye? ”
"Shhhhh I knew you were going to ask that, and that's why I brought you to me. You must know that trouble comes from the mouth. ”
Listening to Ji Jinyun's voice getting louder and louder, Wei Pingchuan quickly interrupted Ji Jinyun's words, and glanced at the door of Qianzhuang's shop.
The entourage who came over just now to make tea saw Wei Pingchuan's gaze, his head was still bright, and he hurriedly walked over and gently closed the door.
"Old girl, now several salt shops in Xishan have closed down. Indeed, this official salt matter has long made the people complain. However, this salt is forbidden to be sold privately, and it is only allowed to be sold by the government, which is an order issued by the emperor. We are just ordinary people, and it is impossible to overthrow this. Therefore, no matter how high the price of official salt is, no matter how unpalatable it is, the common people can only buy it. ”
Seeing the entourage close the door, Wei Pingchuan opened his mouth and slowly told Ji Jinyun about the official salt. When he said this, Wei Pingchuan's face was full of anger.
Thinking that he was selling mountain salt, Ji Jinyun's heart moved, stared at Wei Pingchuan, and tentatively threw out a question: "Master Wei, these people are so hateful, why didn't you think that you would sell some salt in private?" It can be regarded as doing something good for the people. ”
Knowing that his words were very important, Ji Jinyun glanced at the two entourage, approached Wei Pingchuan, and deliberately lowered his voice a lot.
Hearing Ji Jinyun's words, Wei Pingchuan still looked very calm.
After all, he is also the boss of the Xishan County Chamber of Commerce, and he is not surprised or surprised by people who have seen the world.
"Old girl, do you know that this sentence is enough for your whole family to follow you to the funeral? I don't think I heard it today. In the future, you must not say this kind of thing when you go outside. Maybe you haven't seen it, but I've seen it with my own eyes when the trafficker of illicit salt is thrown to jail and the whole family is beheaded. In this world, any business can be touched, but this salt is best not to be touched. ”
Wei Pingchuan's words were said lightly, but what leaked between the words were tragic and cruel pictures, and Ji Jinyun was still a little afraid in his heart, and the rest of the words were hidden.
Ji Jinyun picked up the teacup in front of him, poured more than half of it in one gulp, thought about it for a moment, turned his head to stare at Wei Pingchuan, and asked, "Then, Master Wei, according to what you can see, what will happen to the salt shortage this time?" Okay, why don't you sell any salt at all? ”
"Hmm, that'......"
Wei Pingchuan actually knew that Ji Jinyun was going to ask this sentence for a long time, but there were some things that Wei Pingchuan was still thinking about in his heart, whether to tell the girl in front of him.
"Master Wei, you're going to do this and that. Are you trying to kill me? ”
Ji Jinyun's fiery temper, where could he stand Wei Pingchuan's appearance of wanting to talk and rest, he slapped his hands on his legs and shouted loudly.
Besides, it was the question she wanted to know most now. You must know that it is closely related to what she will do later.
"Hehehe, old girl, you're in a hurry." Seeing that Ji Jinyun was in a hurry to look like this, Wei Pingchuan couldn't help laughing. After a moment of silence, he still spoke: "Girl, your temperament is the most in line with my temper." I'll tell you today. However, let's talk about this here, and don't go out and spread it after listening to it. It stands to reason that I really can't say that. ”
"Hey, Master Wei, can't you just say it? After talking so much, you haven't even said a word. I really admire these people around you, how can you stand it. ”
Seeing that Wei Pingchuan couldn't speak for a long time, Ji Jinyun was even more anxious, stood up suddenly, and roared a lot. After roaring, he stared at Wei Pingchuan with wide eyes, without blinking his eyes.
"Hee-hee...."
Ji Jinyun's appearance provoked Wei Pingchuan's two entourage, and they also laughed. Following Wei Pingchuan's side, they have long been used to it, and it is really interesting to see Ji Jinyun pick up Wei Pingchuan today.
Wei Pingchuan swept his eyes coldly, and the two of them were so frightened that they immediately fell silent.
"Ahem....." Then, Wei Pingchuan cleared his throat and continued.
The appearance of Ji Jinyun in front of him, if he doesn't explain this matter clearly today, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave.
"As far as I know, there is really such a thing as an accident in a salt mine in another place. I've also heard from the merchants over there. It is said that some time ago, the weather on their side was bad, it rained heavily, the salt mine was flooded, and when the water receded, the salt was taken away by the water. The depths of the salt mine are not flooded, but the salt inside is also diluted by the humid moisture in the air. The salt produced is now only enough for their local consumption. There was no salt to be delivered at all. ”
Hearing this, Ji Jinyun sat down slowly. There was a hint of relief on his face.
It turned out that the result of the salt cave she guessed was exactly the same as the situation in the salt mines in other places.
Wei Pingchuan's eyes were staring at a small bird on the opposite tree, jumping around on it, and he didn't see Ji Jinyun's expression, and continued in his mouth:
"However, if something happens to a salt mine in another place, the capital will definitely assign another place to deliver salt. It stands to reason that the salt stored in Xishan County should be worth more than the salt in other places. However, when those people got the news of the accident at the salt mine, they immediately closed the salt shop. If you want to stock up on yourself, wait until everyone can't wait, and then release the salt to make a lot of money. ”
After speaking, Wei Pingchuan couldn't stop shaking his head.
Indeed, those people in the government are really black-hearted. But even if they all know their thoughts, there is nothing they can do. Who called the official salt dominance!
"Smack!"
Ji Jinyun slapped his hand on the table and slapped it down. His eyes glared angrily, and he scolded: "Damn! It's so damning! These people keep saying that they are the parents of the common people, and I think they are a group of bloodsuckers. Usually, the price of this official salt is high enough, and now this one is still being made. It's so hateful! ”
Ji Jinyun's angry appearance startled Wu Xu, who was sitting on the side. But I didn't know what was going on, and a piece of western crisp in my hand had just been delivered to my mouth. Turned his head and looked at Ji Jinyun in a daze.
After a long while, Wu Xu called softly: "Lady." ”
Maybe he couldn't get used to seeing that group of people for a long time, but at this time, Ji Jinyun scolded loudly, but Wei Pingchuan didn't stop it, but shouted loudly.
"Wan old girl, she is really temperamental! It's really embarrassing, admire and admire! ”
